Trump has asked for foreign students at Harvard
US President Donald Trump has asked Harvard University to provide data on foreign students who study there.
« Why does Harvard do not talk about the fact that 31% of their students are foreigners and even from countries that are not particularly friendly to the United States. And yet they pay nothing and plan (do it). No one tells us about it, » the True Social President wrote on his social network.
He adds that « we want to know who these students are and this is a natural question because we are funding Harvard with millions of dollars and Harvard was not very honest.
« We want to know the names and names of the countries (from which they come), » Trump wrote on Sunday.
The president urges the school to start self -sustaining by giving up the federal funding: Harvard has $ 52 million, use them and stop asking for subsidies from the federal government. «
Thousands of foreign students at Harvard may be left without the right to study and reside in the United States
About 6,800 foreign students study at Harvard University. The two largest groups of foreigners are the Chinese (about one third) and the Indians (approximately 700 people).
The university, which is a member of the Breast League, which brings together the most prestigious universities in the United States, is a conflict with the Trump administration after declining the request of the secretary of the internal security Christ Nov to provide information about the potentially « illegal and criminal » activities of foreign students and to take measures against anti-Semitism.
